Overview
An enclosed Ottoman teaching room above a small rock-cut chamber. [1]
Al-Khalili is a square building with a shallow dome, paired windows and an eastern entrance. Awqaf identifies an inscription above the doorway and a mihrab inside. [1]
The governor Muhammad Bey established it for teaching hadith in 1112 AH. Its later name recalls the scholar Muhammad al-Khalili. A chamber beneath it is associated with religious traditions; that lower chamber is separate from the nearby open Dome of the Spirits. [1]
